Hi everyone!

I'm building a tool to simplify deployment to a VPS and make it feel more like a PaaS. I built it for myself initially and now I'm looking for real users to find the pain points I'm missing.

The offer: I'll help you migrate one project from your current host to your own VPS using my tool, in exchange for honest feedback.

If you're interested, please share your stack:

How many services do you want to migrate?
What's your stack? (language/framework, and whether it's dockerized)
What database / storage are you using? (Postgres, MySQL, S3, Redis, etc.)
Where are you hosting now? (Vercel/Netlify/Heroku/etc.)
What does your project do? (link if it's live)
Any host-specific features you rely on? (image optimization, edge functions, managed cron, etc.)

I'll pick the 3 that look like the best fit and reach out.

Server setup: Connects via SSH, installs Docker and Docker Swarm, encrypts and saves credentials.
Cluster management: Easily add new servers to a cluster with the 'server add' command
Deployment: Deploy an app with 'cicdez deploy'
Secrets management: Add secrets and use them in compose files for your service. All secrets are encrypted with age and stored locally alongside your code.
Configs management: Your local configs can be published alongside with your app without storing it in docker image
Docker Compose: Uses compose files with a few additions, so it's easy to go from local to VPS
Encryption: cicdez uses age to encrypt sensitive information such as secrets and server credentials
Docker Swarm: clustering, orchestration, etc. are handled by battle tested solution
